TYPE CASE FOR STEREOTYPE- MATRIX-MAKING MACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 336,753, dated February 23, 1886.

Application filed April 20, 1585.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRIEDRICH SCHREINER, ofPhiladelphia, in the county ofPhiladelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Type Case for Stereotype- MatriX-Making Machines, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved typecase for holding printers type in such a manner that as soon as the type are released they are automatically drawn back into the place which they had before they were placed into the type-holder.

The invention consists in an upright case provided with a series of inclined ways containing weights or their equivalents, to which cords or wires are secured, which have their opposite ends secured to the types, the cords or wires passing through apertures in the front of the case.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a front View of my improved typecase, parts being broken out. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional elevation of the same on the line as m, Fig. 1.

The case A is provided with the table or platform B, and an inclined front, 0, provided with aseries of apertures, D, at each of which in practice the representation of a type-char actor is marked. Behind each aperture a way, E, is fornied,which is inclined downward and toward the rear, the said ways being formed of inclined partitions F and vertical partitions G. In each way E a weight, H, slides,which is secured to one end of a cord or wire, J,

case.

Serial No. 162,957. (No model.)

passed through the aperture at the upper end of the way, and having its other end secured to to a type, K, made of steel. The types are to be placed in a holder, L, for the purpose of taking an impression from them.

The holder and its operating devices are shown and described in a cross or concurrent application of mine, the serial number of the same being 162,858.

Drawers P for additional types and implements are provided in the base part of the By pulling the type to the holder the cords or wires J pull the weights to the upper ends of the ways, and when the types are released the weights H slide down the ways and draw the types up to the apertures D in the front.

In place of the weights H springs may be used.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The combination, with a type-case, of types connected to cords, and means, substantially as described, for pulling the types up to the type'case, as set forth.

2. The combination, with a type-case having inclined ways, of sliding weights in the ways, cords or wires secured to the weights and passed through apertures in the front at the upper ends of the ways, and types secured on the outer endsof the cords or wires, substantially as herein shown and described.

FRIEDRICH SCHREINER.
